The Valero Texas Open was founded in 1922 and represents the third longest-running event on the PGA Tour. It has been held in the greater San Antonio area since its inception, and the tournament has moved around to a bunch of different courses before finding its current home at the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio in 2009.
The event has rotated through a number of different schedule spots as well before settling on the week before The Masters. This will be the final opportunity for all non-qualified players to earn a ticket to Augusta, and seven of the last ten winners of this event were not already qualified for the year’s first major. While many of the star’s biggest names will be resting up before The Masters, Tyrrell Hatton, Hideki Matsuyama, Corey Conners, and Rickie Fowler, amongst others, will all be in attendance in San Antonio.
